ComradeMikh. Kruchinsky:

Ihave received your letter with all the documents
concerning
Gukon.[1]

Iam very sorry to say that while you have accused
others of being hysterical, you yourself have (to put it
mildly) succumbed to the mood. Will you please write in
future with greater restraint anddeliberation.

Withcommunist greetings,Lenin

Central Administration of Horse Breeding (Gukon) of the
People’s Commissariat for Agriculture, who said the horse-breeding
industry was in a grave state due to the bad work of the People’s
Commissariat for Agriculture.
